Overview

OneCell is a revolutionary wireless system that can deliver the ultimate in wireless

performance.

• It eliminates cell borders and handovers

• It can cover a large area with consistent user experience without any significant

interference

• It can take advantage of multiple distributed radio points to deliver a stronger

signal on both the downlink and the uplink

• It can deliver greater capacity through distributed (multi-user and single-user)

MIMO and Coordinated Multipoint (CoMP)

• It has the flexibility to neutralize macro interference in co-channel small cell

deployments

• It can be used to deliver unprecedented levels of capacity to hot spot areas by

deploying radio points with overlapping coverage and enabling multi- user MIMO

In addition to these important benefits in user experience and data capacity, OneCell

provides superior economics and investment protection, ease of deployment, support

for multi-operator deployments.

CommScope OneCell system

OneCell is an in-building, enterprise solution for LTE that provides an in-building

consistent signal. It operates as a wireless network with a single cell, called a

Baseband Controller, over distributed Radio Points. Network operators benefit from

the OneCell because they reduce the load on their infrastructure.
